Drugs and Depersonalization Disorder?
Question by soccergal: Drugs and Depersonalization Disorder?
I took half of an 8th of shrooms a little over three weeks ago. I have anxiety. It used to be very mild and easily controllable. It made me worry a lot, but ever since the shrooms, it seems to have taken over my body. When I’m very distracted, it doesn’t bother me, but even if I’m with friends and talking, I feel kind of… detached from my body. I did some research on HPPD, and found some stuff on depersonalization disorder, and I think I might have it. I often feel a disconnect from everything around me, and this triggers my anxiety and causes me to feel afraid. I wonder if I’m seeing things or if it’s in my head, and I know it’s in my head, but then I wonder if I’m crazy, and it starts this vicious cycle. Then, I start to get very anxious. It takes over my entire body. I feel even more disconnected, and scared, and sometimes I start to cry and I can’t control my emotions.
A symptom of depersonalization disorder is “visual snow” or “static” in the air, which I can somewhat see, I think. See, I’m not really sure if it’s in my head or not.
I have smoked weed four times since doing the shrooms, but that was all within the first week and a half, and I’ve stopped. All I know is that now I think I have depersonalization disorder, I don’t like it, and I want it to stop. I’m 15 years old. I do not want the rest of my life to be like this.
What can I do about it? I noticed a lot of people posting about this, so I’m hoping someone can help. If there’s nothing I can do, how can I keep it from getting worse? Or do I not have the disorder?
Thanks :)

First of all, stay away from the drugs. You never know anymore what people lace them with or? I suggest you see a psychiatrist as they are the Dr’s who know medication and can prescribed it for you if needed and can also refer you to a mental health therapist.

Same thing happened to me on x it’s gonna be a while tillu come back to ur normal state. I have this since last christmas it sucks I can’t have convesTions or anyhing without feeling all blurry and dreamy like. But I have gotten alot better. STOP smoking weed it triggers it. I have been feeling about 75% better after I quit bud. But it’s going to take months try to hydrate yourself. That’s what I’ve been doing and if you feel lazy stay at home don’t go out your mind will trip. Hope you get better , I’m sure you will because Ima almost fully recovered it is gonna take along time.
